    \n
  1. Face-to-Face Interaction<\/strong>

  2. Fewer Distractions<\/strong>
    \u00a0Being in the same physical space often helps students focus better, especially those who find it hard to concentrate online.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Hands-On Learning<\/strong>
    \u00a0Writing on paper, using manipulatives, or solving problems side by side can make concepts more concrete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Stronger Relationship Building<\/strong>
    \u00a0A tutor-student bond can grow faster in person, which is especially helpful for younger learners who may need more personal encouragement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
